Park Avenue
The first highlight after entering the park, where towering sandstone walls and fins line both sides like a row of New York skyscrapers. You can hike down into the valley.
The Park Avenue viewpoint is about 4 kilometers from the visitor center, and from the overlook you can see the impressive red rock walls. The trail descends about 1.6 kilometers into the valley to the Courthouse Towers. You will need to arrange a shuttle or return the same way, and the round trip takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Nearby are the Three Gossips and Chief Rock, both striking rock formations. Park Avenue is inside Arches National Park. During peak season, daytime entry requires advance timed-entry reservations; check the NPS website for details.
